The old thread was getting a bit unweildy, so I'm starting a new one to make things a bit simpler. I'll ask the mods to sticky it tomorrow.
So the deal so far: We'll have a rehearsal 15 April, probably 2-6pm. Venue tba, but probably Little Bowden Village Hall. Bandstand gig will be on 5 May, at Welland Park Bandstand. We'll play in the afternoon and have a practice in the morning. Venue for practice tba. Should we aim to start at 10-ish? Barry and I have been talking about possible dress. Barry's suggested black bottoms (i.e. trousers or shirts, not the judicious application of boot polish to your nether regions) and a solid colour top. We need to agree on the tops. I lean towards black, as I imagine most people would have a black top. But perhaps a strong colour would look funkier. What do you think? |

What do you think? 15th April seems fine for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll have orchestra, but I can do it. |

Preferably any colour but white for the top (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I look like a corpse in a black top but I think I can find one somewhere if that's what you decide.

10-ish for a rehearsal start sounds fine on 5/5. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
2-6pm on 15/4 will also be fine, I think. I'll check on engineering work 'just in case'..... edit: nothing out of the ordinary on the Midland Mainline website. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Shall we go for a bit of a democratic vote here? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
If you're coming to Harborough on 5/5, who'd prefer to wear a black top, and who'd prefer a coloured top? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

A touch of cross-posting here, apologies (see calendar thread).
There's no formal closing date for the bandstand gig, but if you can let me know if you're coming a little beforehand, I can sort out music a little easier - many thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

A couple of reminders:
The next gathering is scheduled for 15th April, 2-6pm, venue listed on the first post. The gig is on the 5th May, again details are on the first post. I'd like to start rehearsing at about 10-10:30ish. Looks like dress code for the 5th will be a plain coloured top, with black bottom half. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

A little request :
Anyone else who's coming to the bandstand who wants a solo spot (Nicki, Carl, katyjay, your solos are confirmed), please let me know by Easter Monday (9th April) - I will finalise the pieces that will be in the pads by this date. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
